Abstract

Fundic sheds new light on aspects of transformation of sacred topography in the Mediterranean from the fourth century to the beginning of the eighth century. This region underwent fundamental changes, which were caused by (or were the reflection of) cultural and artistic interactions between different religions and their utopian ideals. The text examines various reasons behind such transformation by focusing on several characteristic examples of religious shrines that were reshaped to create an idealised future and incorporated into the current ritual narrative.
